What Makes It a Newsboy Cap
This style has the same stiff peak as a flat cap, but the body is rounder and fuller, made of eight pieces with a button on top, as Wikipedia's article on the newsboy cap explains. That fuller shape is what you see here: the panels puff slightly around the crown, giving a relaxed, vintage look. The style is also called a cabbie hat, a baker boy cap or a Gatsby cap.
Newsboy Cap vs Flat Cap
A flat cap is slim and sits close to the head, with a smooth top. This cap is rounder, built from panels, with a button on top. Choose this style if you like a bit more volume and a classic, early 1900s feel; choose a flat cap for a sleeker look.
Fit and Sizing
The photographed cap is labelled M; the store lists S, M, L and XL options. The elasticated back gives some stretch. Measure around your head above the ears and eyebrows, and confirm the measurements for your selected size before ordering.
How to Style It
Wear it with a camel or grey overcoat and a scarf for a classic autumn look, or with a denim jacket and boots for something more casual. The blue colour pairs well with the men's plaid knit winter scarf and the men's double prong belt. See more men's hats and caps and the full jewellery and accessories collection.
Care Tips
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, and let it air dry on a rounded object, such as a bowl, so it keeps its shape. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Store it on a shelf rather than squashed in a drawer.
